Abstract
A partial amino acid sequence of human platelet-derived growth factor, the major mitogen in serum for cells of mesenchymal origin, has been determined. A region of 104 contiguous amino acids shows virtual identity with the predicted sequence of p28sis, the putative transforming protein of simian sarcoma virus (SSV). This similarity suggests a mechanism for transformation by SSV and other agents, involving expression of growth factors.Entities:
